Glazen Toren Canaster Winterscotch Ale
The latest and greatest addition to the huge beer inventory here at Cool Springs Wines and Spirits is Glazen Toren Canaster Winterscotch Ale from Belgium. When I first tasted it a few months ago this brew really blew my mind, as it should being $13.99 for a 750ml. Sometimes for me, it is hard to justify this amount of money for a beer but it came as a recommendation from a trustworthy source so I just had to try it. Wow was I impressed! Yep, this beer is worth every penny and then some so the next step was to get it to CSWS and here it is!
Glazen Toren Winterscotch pours a cloudy dark amber/brown color with a large, frothy, creamy, lacing, with a head that lasts. The aroma is moderately malty an delightly hoppy. There are notes of toasted grains, caramel, flowers, dried fruits, plums, smoke, alcohol and perhaps some raisins and figs. The flavor is sweet, lightly sour and lightly bitter. Medium to full body with lively carbonation and a long finish with medium bitterness. There is a booze taste present but well hidden for it to be 9.5% ABV. I loved this brew and I think you will too.
